Here’s the answer to the cliffhanger: 100G (2/3rds cup) may be too much if it’s all you eat, but < 80g (1/2 a cup) is fine (from the paper he cites at the end, quoted below)
“The relatively slow release of cyanide after ingestion of freshly grinded linseed results in a lower hazard potential. Indeed, no reports on cyanide poisoning after consumption of linseed were found in the literature. The ingestion of dif-ferent doses of the study linseed (7.5–100 g) by test person No. 5 resulted in peak levels of cyanide overproportion-ally increasing with increasing doses (Fig. 3), caused by the constant metabolism rate (at higher doses) and occur-ring despite increasing tmax values allowing more time for detoxification. With the highest dose, the cyanide peak level of 42.3 μM reached may potentially be associated with first clinical signs of toxicity. However, this is a very high amount of linseed hard to ingest quickly (caloric con-tent 370–380 kcal per 100 g), and in order to meet worst-case conditions, it has to be eaten on an empty stomach directly after grinding by a machine (chewing of the hard seeds is not effective enough and very time-consuming), without consumption of other foods. In Sweden, the high-est daily dose was reported to be 80 g ground linseed, given as “fibre shock” in a private health spa (Rosling 1993). Usually, high doses are up to 15 g three times a day in case of traditional herbal medication to treat or prevent consti-pation (EMA 2006), and this dose is safe with respect to possible acute toxicity of cyanide.”
Abraham, K., Buhrke, T., & Lampen, A. (2016). Bioavailability of cyanide after consumption of a single meal of foods containing high levels of cyanogenic glycosides: a crossover study in humans. Archives of toxicology, 90(3), 559-574.
I’m always reading nutrition labels in the store, causing traffic jams in the aisles I think a lot of people that don’t read nutrition labels would be shocked at what their food is composed of…
Very important video,actually we must read the food labels properly,now it will be very helpful to understand the Nutrition Information written,appreciate your work.
Everyone is different in how many carbs to eat per meal.I was diagnosed with LADA, and right away I went to diabetic classes and they were geared more on type 2 diabetics so I cut my carbs a lot and lost a lot of weight. I am now eating about 45 carbs per meal on a insulin pump and my weight is great so everyone is different…I recommend a heart healthy diet.
You clear clarification have scattered a portion of the misguided judgment I found in perusing nourishment name, that is extremely useful. Thank!
i usually don’t pay attention on the nutritional label because it takes time to read it and its really confusing. But thank you for explaining it.
this is the video that made me subscribe. actually the first video of yours I watched
Excellent video. Scanning an ingredient list is just second nature for me now but I am regularly surprised that so many people that say they care about, or actively pursue healthy eating, rarely or never read labels. It makes ALL the difference. Many thanks for this concise, informative video. Hopefully one day you can also create one regarding the best oils to use with various types of cooking and their individual health profiles.
I took a nutrition course and it was crazy how much stuff is in labels. Thanks for talking about this! It needs to be addressed for sure!
Wow this video was super informative! I seriously had no idea about that information about margin of error. I have really started reading my labels since my weightloss journey and this video has helped even more with that. I do try to limit any processed foods:)
Definitely didn’t know some of the pointers in this video! Should be able to make better sense of my groceries now!
super informative dr handsome……but can we trust the nutrition labels completely?
excellent information, very useful for day to day, you always give us the best
a lot of labels are deliberately deceptive, good vid on what to look out for!
Thre is has really helped me read the labels correctly thank for share
The Michael Pollen quote is a great memorable statement that helps when one gets stuck with a long list nutrition label. Thank you very much for your explanation about how to read nutrition labels.
Dr. Neal Bernard has laid out the benefits of a whole food vegan diet in reducing insulin intake on type 1 diabetics and totally eliminating insulin need for type 2 diabetes. might wanna look up some of his YouTube videos where he goes into some of the science behind this
Such an easy thing to overlook! I get caught out easily because I’m too lazy to check the labels on stuff.
Great explanation on how to read nutrition labels. We need to be careful of what we take in to keep ourselves healthy
I struggle with this so much! I try to eat healthy and look at nutrition labels but most of the time I have no idea what I’m reading lol. This is really gonna help, great info Doc thanks a lot.
Knowledge is power but isn’t it a bit unrealistic to expect people to know about the thousands of different types of chemical reactions that occur in the human body?
Body weight is major determining factor. I won’t spoil any more.
thank you so much for apply the useful information! I cannot believe they are allowed to have a 20% error margin!! That’s insane to me!
Been trying to lose some weight and this video did a great job showing what to look for in nutrition labels
I think the labels are always worth exploring even if sometimes they are very small and in the UK do not always have the consistency and clarity shown by your examples. Would be great to have one industry standard.
This is super helpful! Thank you for the wonderful information!
Thank you very much for your explanation about how to read nutrition labels. It was very helpful. I believe, it`s the best to avoid processed foods as much as possible.
It’s not really ‘until now’,, given that this paper was published in 2015. In any case, here it is if anyone doesn’t want to wait for MG to read it out for them:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4754328/pdf/204_2015_Article_1479.pdf
Buy unprocessed foods and cook from scratch and you don’t have to read the nutrition labels! I always forget my glasses in the store anyway. Glad you called out that issue with the serving sizes. They get you with that!
great explanation about how important to us to Read Nutrition Labels. its so necessary to do that if u want to get healthy. thanks a lot for this amazing video
How is plant-based better for the environmental when the world’s main vegetable and fruit suppliers take up so much ground with forced agriculture of all the vegetables, grains, and fruits?? All of our food is created by 10 main manufacturers who have destroyed billions of animals in areas where there was previously no agriculture in nature. But now it’s all full of pesticides and sugary fruits and vegetables.
reading the nutrion label on packaged food items correctly makes a massive difference in controlling one’s long-term health and fitness goals, the Michael Pollen quote is a great memorable statement that helps when one gets stuck with a long list nutrition label.
I really enjoyed this video. I have been trying to understand how to read a food label and what’s good and bad in food. maybe you could do another one like this with like protein bars.
I eat a lot of broccoli and brussels sprouts. I got to start eat healthier. Nutrition labels are important so we can see what we are putting into our bodies. Potato chips are bad because we eat to many.
Amazing video! This is so much helpful and informative video. It’s is the best way to learn about nutrition labels. This is creative tuitorial.Thank you so much for sharing.
The FDA is a joke. We just try to eat as many whole plant foods as possible to avoid all that junk
Really informative video on reading nutrition level correctly. Learned new thing. Thanks, for your valuable share.
thanks for the Informative video I learned something awesome! I hope you do more vids like this one. ❤❤
So this may explain why raw flax seeds have been effective in curing cancer, especially breast cancer. It must be the cyanide, the same reason bitter almonds have been effective in curing cancer. Flax seeds actually seems like a better alternative anyway since we can fine tune the dosage easier as it contains a lower dosage of cyanide.
thanks doc this was so informative and helpful it was always confusing for me when i see nutrition labels
So important to be able to read them well, this was a really useful video!
Five weeks is not long enough to draw a significant conclusion. Yourself study is bias as you new what diet you where on each time.
Uy, this woman got me anxious in the first minute, maybe she has good information but I will skip this video…
Talking about carbs in such a general way is unlikely to enhance knowledge about nutrition. No gold star from me for that

Great information about nutrition labels, thanks for sharing this awesome video.
Is it possible to do low carb and be vegetarian at the same time? Low carb always seems to be like “meat, meat, meat and more meat”
I know it was probably just a simple slip up but I couldn’t keep watching after she incorrectly called the x-axis the y-axis
Processed and unprocessed carbs are two entirely different worlds. Disingenuous to say “all carbs” when it’s actually only processed carbs that have this kind of reaction.
The biochemistry textbooks don’t link biochemistry with nutrition? And when is that going to change? Is there any push towards making that change now that functional medicine is clearly the wave of the future. Or are they just going to make those poor medical students study, and memorize, in a meaningless vacuum into the 22nd century? We’ll see.
Dr Pogozelski approach to treating Diabetes is not new. In fact, ages ago it was recommended that the only treatment for Diabetes (both Type 1 and 2) is to complete omit all or majority carbohydrates from your diet. But Carbohydrates play a role in our diet. This is a area that the she does not tackle. On a very basic level, carbohydrates are your body’s main source of energy. They help fuel your brain, kidneys, heart, muscles and central nervous system. Eating foods high in CHO are part of a healthy meal. Imagine omitting or eating low amounts of CHO/ high fiber foods such as peas, yam and corn and even fruits. In addition to providing CHO these types of food provide other nutrients, that once limited in the diet can affect you in other ways… Perhaps she should have discussed any effects she would have had from this diet such as constipation.
Food is to be enjoyed, and this approach is in line with this idea that we should deprive ourselves of food to be healthy. This is not so. Eating adequate amount of CHO, eating healthy, exercise and being on a individualized insulin regime can allow anyone to live a normal life without being on a ‘low carb’ diet.
I’ve literally always said there is no damn way they can make things exactly 100 calories. or any number like that. this was crazy to hear. thanks for sharing!!
Very interesting talk, particularly the connections between insulin, hemoglobin, oxygen delivery, and kidney function. My dad is a diabetic and liver-kidney transplant recipient, so these insights are helpful.
I’d love to hear more from Dr. Wendy Pogozelski. The students at SUNY Geneseo are lucky to have her!
First they tell you to eat flax because it’s good for you. Then they tell you its poison. A psyop.
I am surprised that Dr. Pogozelski didn’t mention Dr. Richard K. Bernstein who has been working to promote the low carb diet for type I and II diabetic patients for decades.
Yes, you can do this. It is close to or is the ketogenic diet. I don’t think it is ideal at all. Instead if you have trouble measuring your insulin I suggest eating the same thing every day at the same time and making it primarily based on starch like japonica rice.
Fruits and vegetables are carbohydrates…should i stop eating those?
Who cares if there’s cyanide in them.. they’re loaded with Omega 3.. LOADEDDD!!!
The FDA wants to make and keep us sick so we depend on big pharmaceutical companies. It’s disgusting! Shop on the outside of the store never on the inside isles.
It’s the refined grains that are very bad, not the organic, unrefined grains. For instance, bagels should be considered hazardous bio-weapons and waste
So useful!! I learned about this in my nutrition class and seriously it’s not my major or even required but probably one of the most useful classes I have ever taken and so worth it!
Also, I know they are changing the nutrition labels in the next year (to dumb it down a little bit) however, I think you should make another video when they do to compare the two labels to show people the difference and still what to look out for!
I watched 300 hours of you tube vids where drs. MacDougall, Fuhrman, Ornish, and a dozen others use a HIGH CARB, plant based plan to REVERSE diabetes. I could not see where your ADVICE had any basis in science.
This was great right up til she started making recommendations based on a sample size of one with short term results. Low carb can cause depression for a starter at least based on my sample size of one! The other thing that happens is you wind up getting a greater percentage of calories from fat and protein which can unbalance the body by requiring more bile for digestion. This in turn can alter your gut bacteria and cause other problems. I’ve messed with my diet enough to know that going for short term results can really screw you. A1c is not your life nor even equated with health.
Hope it’s not starting on be a soap opera… until next…
This is a fake problem. And I’d venture to guess that these cyanates are many orders of magnitude more toxic to cancer cells than healthy ones. Eat flax, it’s good for you.
What about rice? Thout rice was a no go because of cyanide.
This was a very interesting talk and a good starting point! A couple of points though that would have increased the validity of her results. I would have liked a mention of the different types of Carbs. We know that not all carbs are the same. Low GI and High GI carbs are metabolized differently in the body and have different effects on blood glucose levels.
Also, while positive results for maintaining steady BG levels were shown, we only saw a measurement of one type of effect (BG levels). But many effects should have been monitored. What about fatigue, light headedness during exercise etc. These are symptoms experienced by those on low carb diets and are important to know before we can make an informed decision.
Even more importantly, what was eaten? Was it fish, legumes, vegetables? Were major changes made to other aspects of her diet as well? (ie giving up alchohol). How often did she eat during the day? How much exercise was done during the experiment (can a low carb diet sustain an active person)? What about fluids (juice or water??). These are all important variables that significantly change the results of this experiment.
All in all, more study are needed but in the meantime we can follow after the speakers good example in listening to advice but also trying different things to find out what works best for you.
Finally! I’m studying nutrition in Sweden and we are learning to stay away from ground flax!
she should investigate the benefits of the whole foods vegan diet, and you are really really wrong if you compare the spike in blood sugar from white rice and pasta to that of fruit:/
I always look at my labels, I am constantly surprised of what garbage they are allowed to put in our food.
Thanks, this was my assignment on my nutrition subject, this really helps me a lot
thanks for clearing this dumb ol myth up there’s nothing wrong with fruits and dried fruits!
Super informative.
Interesting approach.
Interesting new studies chosen.
New perspective inside the low-carb idea.
Thank you, this has really helped me read the labels correctly!
Some fantastic information here. Don’t read nutrition labels at all, but I will now. Thank you!
But she’s blending type-one and type two diabetes. I can agree with her views on on type one. But type 2 is not caused by sugar, but by lipoglucgenesis. It is fat that causes, that is inter-cellular fat clongs the opening that woyuld normally allow insulin in to power the cell with glucose. Meat and Dairy lobby is fighting this.
Concentrating on the one or two contributing chemical factors in nutrition without broader context seems very reductive. As much as isolating the ‘causal’ chemical elements in a given illness seems important, the effects of a range of accompanying ingredients and trace components in a given food, surely, is required to understand the body’s reaction to food particularly whole foods which, biochemically speaking, have a range of trace ingredients that act synergistically with the body’s metabolic process. Our bodies are not labs or petri dishes where certain chemical reactions occur in isolation. This approach strikes me (on surface reading, here) as lacking broader contextual and longitudinal data, in vivo, to be appropriate to apply to the complex working environment of a human body over time. There is great work being done on nutrition and population studies out there and great meta analysis is coming out on this and many other modern, nutritional maladies, all the time (just go to http://www.pubmed.gov or http://www.nutritionfacts.org). No mention of or reference to any such research here Why?
I have cured 20 type-2 diabetics Abu am surprised you are not aware of how to do it.
If a type 2 diabetic changes to a whole food plant based diet he will no longer need diabetic medicine in 3 days to 2 weeks. That means high carb, no meat, no diary, and very little oil. Gone.
Just try it for 24 hours and your sugar reading the next morning will be lower than you have ever seen it.
All this technical B.S. And 100% wrong.
If you are a type 1 diabetic, you will reduce your need for insulin by 50% which is the difference between dying with diabetes and dying from diabetes.
Just 24 hours with no meat, no diabetes and no oil. Cured for type 2 diabetics.
See dr John mcdougall and Neal Bernard on diabetes.
She sounds like she knows what she is talking about but is 100% wrong.
Just try no meat, no dairy for 24 hours.
Honest to God some of these comments are absolutely MORONIC. Did anyone actually listen here or do you all want to jump on the bandwagon so you can argue about food??
Did anyone actually understand the message behind this talk, or is everyone brain dead?? PLEASE tell me someone got it!!
From my research, the best way to handle this is to eat whole food carbohydrates, especially those high in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, and in excessive quantities. A diet of almost exclusively whole fruits and vegetables ideal. You would be surprised that the glucose release from these foods is slow, and the glucose spike is relatively minor.
So she’s been a “biochemistry professor and had been teaching about biochemistry a long time” but didn’t see anything wrong with her diet beforehand until she got diabetes? How can she be a professor and the title of this video be “How Knowledge is Power in Nutrition” if she didn’t even know her diet was leading her to diabetes until she actually got the disease? If she truly had the knowledge previously, she wouldn’t have made this video because she would have prevented herself from getting diabetes in the first place. At 8:36 she says: “In type 2 diabetes, insulin is present, but the downstream reactions are affected in some way”. So basically she has no idea what causes insulin resistance. She’s a professor and the video is titled “How Knowledge is Power…” and yet no new information is givenjust a general video on how low carb normalized her blood glucose (she didn’t say if she was cured of diabetes or not). I wish people would stop putting out more of the same simplified information we already know. Some high carb vegan gurus would argue that dietary fat is what “gums” up the receptor at the cell site which leads to insulin not working properly. I want to know if THAT theory has any validity. We need real answers, not more people making videos who don’t really have extensive knowledge on the topic.
Any smart person would not follow the main stream, industrial/pharmaceutical “nutricional” piramid. I love TED talks, but they are too short sometimes. These is a huge subject.
Knowledge is Power indeed! If I hadn’t have this knowledge seven years ago, I could be a diabetic by now. Great talk Dr. Wendy Pogozelski!
Is she promoting the Ketogenic Diet? I wonder where her other sources of nutrients are coming from.. like say higher in fat or protein to compensate the loss in carbohydrates.
I’m just saying, if she is promoting the ketogenic diet, doesn’t this promote Diabetic Ketoacidosis? (probably also explains the limit given by the ADA on the 130g of carbohydrates)
That’s fine for you to do what works for you, but I just want to say, I’ve been type 1 diabetic for 24 years and I did the low carb thing in the past, but now I eat a fairly low fat and fairly low carb (basically, everything in the middle) whole foods vegan diet. I tend to avoid grains and white potatoes just because it saves me some insulin, but because I think they’re bad or because my sugar will rise uncontrollably (it won’t, if I give insulin, I’m fine). My a1c last check was 4.9 (I try to keep my sugars under 100), my good cholesterol was 67, my bad cholesterol was 42. So, yours is not the only way. It’s one thing to have good sugars, but I also want to be healthy apart from my sugars. When I ate very low carb and high fat, my insulin resistance was so high that if I ate so much as a small apple, my sugar would shoot up and I’d need, like, 4 units of insulin to cover it. It meant I could NEVER eat carbs anymore, not even fruit. But now that I don’t restrict carbs and an not eating so much fat, that same apple only takes 1 unit of insulin, and even if I failed to cover it, my sugar works only rise to about 140.
for some reason the post below bears my husbands name instead of mine. sandra bubb
that was a wonderful talk. i really enjoyed the fact that lay people could understand what you had to say, and that you added your own experiences. i remember hearing that you had been diagnosed as a type 1, and i wondered why that would be. you weren’t a young person, and i knew you took good care of yourself, so why type 1? now i wonder if it wasn’t because there needed to be someone to investigate the conventional thinking on this subject, and help those of us who don’t have the knowledge and skills to advance treatment in this area. i appreciate all the skills you have in this area due to your hard work gaining the proper education, and putting forth the effort to be inquisitive about accepted knowledge, and the possibility that there may be a better way of doing things.
Fewer carbs….less brain fog for me!
Much literature out there that the brain is made up of fat and needs fat to function. Glucose can come from protein if the body needs it.
Reference “Big Fat Surprise”, by Nina Teicholz…..one of many.
This video about reading nutrition labels was great! I learned a lot new things and definitely recommend checking it out.
I’ve been watching people make bread and wraps made of just flax and water…
Great video, but Net-fact label’s are total B’S, look more into the ingredients and you will find that a lot of products contain poisons that even over Country’s from around the World have BANNED in food.
Thank you for educating people on this!! This is incredible, and I never knew this!
I love the nutritional education!! I vote more videos like this, knowledge is power!
Well wow! Not cool. Won’t be eating those. Thanks for the great info!
When a look at the ingredients I believe this product is not allowed in the EU if sold and would be banned.
I’m from Sweden and when I searched about cyanide in flax seeds it just made me scared to even try it. I’m so happy that this video could clarify what I’ve been wondering for a long time.
I feel like this is one of your most helpful videos. This is so important I feel like everyone needs to know about this!
3:26 “flax seed industry funded scientist” says flax seed is totally ok? how is that credible?!?!?!?
Very informative video on reading nutrition level correctly. Learned new thing in this video. Thanks for sharing!
Interesting. My diet is about two thirds carbs though (rice crackers, smoothies, bananas, oatmeal etc.), but I do weightlifting 3 times a week. I’d like to see how we respond to highcarb meals, as we have more muscle mass that is more insuline sensitive (compared to our fatcells and compared to the average non-trained joe’s insuline sensitivity). I predict this will significantly reduce both size and time of insuline/blood sugar spikes. Also, when you combine carbs with fats, protein and fiber, (basically a balanced meal), the glycemic index can be thrown out the window, as the carbs are absorbed much slower that way. Many studies on glycemic index are done on 1. fasted people (usually not realistic) 2. with the carbs in isolation (usually not realistic).
I’m not pro-carb persé. I’ve done great on a moderate fat+moderate carb diet. Just saying we need to be really careful with going against high carb diets for healthy people. Usually the carbs themselves aren’t the problem, it’s the crapload of processed foods (that tend to be high
emptycarb) that don’t satiate, yet make up a large part of the USA’s average diet.I’ve never noticed any effects when eating flax seed in the current quantities I do, so I’m going to assume it’s safe unless you eat over a certain threshold determined by body mass. I wait until your next video to either debunk my current hypothesis or confirm it.
WOW I mean Wow wow Thank you!!! Once I hit 50 and had a full and complete hysterectomy I have gained a Huge amount of weight;( I know a lot of it is mindset and the hormones I have to be on But I swear this is really getting out of control;( So when I saw this I was. Blown away with all this information Thank you again!! This has really woke me up. Here’s to my Getting my crap back together;) Warm hugs from Michigan.
it only gets approved if there are side effects worse than it’s purpose. so they can go ahead and make another drug to cure your side effects, and that’s how you end up with many various drugs you have to take for the rest of your life.
But mainly the drug has to be expensive so they can make as much money from your health.
(think about this) why would they cure you if they are making billions keeping you sick. open your eyes.
the best cure is being healthy build up your immune system let your body heal itself.
Most doctors are here on a quota they need to prescribe you this drugs. why aren’t doctors here to talk to you how to prevent from you getting sick. all they do is prescribe (MONEY) get it. they want your health to make money.
last thing you heard this I’m sure, this dr has his own PRACTICE, he owns a PRACTICE. they are using you to PRACTICE on you all this Drugs keeping you sick keep bringing you to the Dr and making more money from your health.
eat clean detox your body build your immune system up live long.
Cliff hangers … it’s what he does you twits, you know that. I was never worried about minute quantities of arsenic in rice and flax seeds, although got a bit paranoid about leaving cold brown rice in the fridge for more than a day or two, god knows where this paranoia comes from in the absence of data, just play it safe…… but this is really interesting. At the UofT (Toronto Canada) a cancer researcher wrote a respected paper that correlated 4 tbps of ground flax seeds in patients with breast cancer with a significant shrinkage of tumours pre and post operative.
I HATE food labels that try and trick you to! Like the Lenny and Larrys Cookies. Of course they give you the macros for 1/2 the cookie instead of the whole thing! So deceptive! Love the info Heidi! <3
For everyone who cannot wait for the next video, here’s the study he’ll be covering next: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25708890
PS what are bitter almonds? /when I still ate sugar, I loved marzipan. Must Google. Thought they were the kernels of apricots
I’ve learned to always read food labels!!!!!! Any tips on what to order if you go out to dinner???
“uuuuuuuntiiiillll now!” that had to be the longest one yet, I laughed so damn hard lol
Food labels are a estimate I’m a type 1 diabetic and have given myself the wrong amount of insulin due to this estimate
“something that grinds my gears, takes the jelly out of my doughnut”
this was so helpful! I always look at the nutritional facts on things at the grocery store and try to decipher if its okay to eat in moderation or for treats but didn’t really know what i was looking for… haha so thank you!:)
So happy you’re a YouTuber! You’re so informative and helpful!
You are so smart! I loved the information that you gave in this video. I think it is crazy that we are putting food in our bodies that we don’t really know what is in them.
I have the white selena racerback but i want the grey one you’re wearing in this vid! can hardly wait until a BuffBunny restock and new launch! ahhhhh gotta get everything haha
FDA needs stricter regulations on food.
I try to stay away from any middle aisle at the grocery store. Whole foods all the way.
That’s a really important topic you talked about. People just don’t read nutrition labels carefully and take higher calories than they supposed to be. Just a simple explanation from you again. Thanks for the video!
But doesn’t heat destroy the alpha linolenic acid and other omegas which are the reason we’re eating flax seeds is the first place?
Hey Heidi thank you so much! I really needed all this information! I realized how important it is to eat whole and organic foods lately and how much better I am feeling!
Wow I learned so much from this video! Thanks for the info Heidi!!!!
something i have started paying more attention to now, after watching your channel and similar channels that i started following this month, is protein! I’ve honestly come to realize I don’t get enough protein at ALL. and i’ve been actively trying to just buy more grocery items that have protein too veggies included. didn’t really try to do that before!
I’ve been fortunate to know Wendy in person as an undergrad. Years later and after completing a medical degree, I still find that her words hold true. A very smart and thoughtful talk like the lectures she would give to us lucky few biochem students years ago. Trust me, she researches into everything she speaks of and has great integrity in the world of research and education.
Thank you. More info and less advice. The FDA sucks. They are not doing their job in protecting us. You did right Ms. Do your own study and take care of yourself because the FDA WON’T.
I love your channel. You do your research and provide facts that make sense to us newbies. Keep it up!!
So glad I found this info!! Thanks for the math facts! Still so confusing tho. That’s why it really is true what you said that it’s much easier just to eat natural Whole Foods.
Oh no!! “Take the jelly out of your doughnut!!” Who would dare!!!
One misconception that always occur in these discussions is that you think that calories are underestimated on the label at the same time as the amount of protein is overestimated. It’s highly unlikely that all extra calories would come exclusively from something else than protein. So if you suspect the label to state less calories than what it really contains, then the stated amount of protein is probably correct or underestimated (i.e. it contains more protein than what it says). However, this assumes that the energy equation checks out to begin with (i.e. quickly calculate the expected amount of calories from the stated amounts of carbs/fats/proteins and compare to the label, it should agree to within a few 10s of calories) but I believe that it is a safe bet.
Anyway, my main point is that when you hear there are errors in these labels everyone automatically assumes there are MORE calories and LESS protein than what is stated.
Thank you Dr Pogozelski!! Same battle happening for 7 year old nephew, and it’s like pulling teeth to wake them up to something that seems so obvious.
Now I can’t wait for the next video. Thanks for the cliffhanger. I’ll think about it dat and night now
If we’ll cover this next time, it isn’t until now is it? Is it!?
The link doesn’t work. Can you please update with a new link?
Thank you. I would like to see more informative videos on dental health
Very informative and well explained video about how to read Nutrition labels. Its help me a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Be careful, raisin high in fluoride. Idk if an organic raisin free of fluoride or not, but personally i still feel something weird on my brain and my tinnitus became worse after ate organic raisin
This blew my mind learning more about nutrition. So much of the “food” today is not even food anymore.
Couldnt agree more. Im scared for my kiddos future health. Wish they taught proper health and nutrition in schools.
@ NutritionFacts.org any studies on vegan cavity/periodontitis reversal? Many people show protocols through eating meat/fermented dairy/duck eggs/cheese for the bioavailable A,D,K (K2 MK 7 & 9)
They reference Weston Price and his observation of a grain based diet to promote tooth decay
I know natto is a vegan source of K2…figuring out how to make it more palatable…
I wasn’t aware of the portion sizing trick. Thanks for the heads up I better go read every box in my house again:l
I knew they could lie, but not up to 20%!! This video was insanely helpful!! I love how knowledgeable you are on everything relating to fitness as well. I feel like you know a lot more than a lot of other youtubers. People can really benefit from this video!! Thank you!!
I am skeptical of the x-axis on her graph at 13:35. If I were doing a Ted Talk I’d want someone to review my Powerpoint for mistakes like that.
I also want to know why she’s waiting 12 hours between main meals, as suggested by the higher-carb diet blood glucose graph, and not eating anything substantial for lunch. If anything is risky with that kind of diet it would be leaving long periods of time between meals like that.
Plus, all the talk “knowledge is power” and “science is best” and then finishing off with one set of results for one person? Sample size, people! This is pre-GCSE level basics, more data makes the experiment more reliable!
No, I don’t trust this lady. She might be a highly skilled teacher of cell metabolism, and well done for making theoretical teaching practical to students through real-life context… But this doesn’t make her an expert in diet, and it certainly doesn’t make her a doctor.
I’m going to leave my few pinches of salt here…
i love how informational you are! you are one of the vloggers that actually knows a lot of about nutrition and working out
I can honestly say that I know absolutely nothing about nutrition facts or food in general. I am trying to learn though so this video helped so much!
thank you so much for this video Heidi!! I had NO IDEA the margin of error was so large that really does make it a bit tricky if you track your macros!
Good video for everyone.I learn about nutrition labels.thank you
Don’t keep us in suspense! I’m poised about to sprinkle ground flaxseed on my breakfast!!
Thank you for making videos like this. I appreciate you sharing knowledge:)
It’s crazy the amount of people who don’t know how to read labels!! Thankfully they have you:) You’re the best, Heidi Xx
Been vegan my entire life. Plant based minimal processed food. I have loads of cavities…… Joke
the answer for type 1 diabetics though is still eating the required amount of energy in the form of slow releasing carbohyrdates. To eat what is required of the body to function in a healthy way. You are going to take insulin either way. Eating carbohydrate rich foods that are bound to fibre don’t cause excessive spikes in blood glucose and are much easier to manage. Eat whole vegetables, whole beans, and whole grains. We run into problems with all forms of processed carbohydrates because it strips away the fibre. Fibre is the key for controlling blood glucose release rate
May be the reason we can safely eat small amount of toxins such as some cyanide is that these toxins are in the seeds of some fruits; for example, cyanide in apple seeds does not harm us because seeds also have a tough protective coating that allows them to mostly survive our digestive track. Another example is tomato seeds that mostly survive our digestive track because not only they have protective cover, but also they are hard to bite on! The seeds are toxic because, in our symbiotic relationship with fruit trees, we are not supposed to eat the seeds, and in cases where we have no choice but eating the seeds (cucumber and tomato for example) the toxin does not harm us. In cases where the seeds are not supposed to be eaten (in apples for example), the apple seeds taste bitter; they are telling us: hello, not the seeds dummy! Just because our body can handle some toxins, it does not mean we should eat more of it! Our body can get rid of some cholesterol, but I would not eat ANY of it. I have never been able to find scientific proof that humans are naturally designed to eat seeds, grains, or root vegetables; all I have heard is that humans have been eating them and survived to be healthier than meat eaters (which is true); or that our saliva contains amylase, so that we eat potatoes! Again, the reason for amylase is that in case fruits we eat are not ripe, we can handle some starch. But, does that mean we are evolved to eat seeds, grains, or potatoes? I think the answer is no. I stay away from all seeds, grains, and tubers (of course, also animal products, extracted sugars and oils, no controversy about how terrible they are for us, not on this site!), and have cured my diabetes and a number of complications caused by it; I do not feel or tested like I am in need of anything grains, seeds or tubers can provide me. Last time I even had a common cold was in March 2014 (I record them)! I admire what Dr. Greger does with his site and books; this is just a “graduate” level comment for those who have kicked their addiction to animal products and processed crap advertised as food by “food” industry!
(The symbiotic relationship I described above I first heard from Loren Lockman’s site)
What a waste of my time when you didn’t even give us the answer. At this point you don’t need to tease us in watching your videos, we are fans and committed, so why do this? Now what? I gotta go look for the second edition of this to get whether or not we and our dogs should continue eating flaxseeds?
I bake bread with 1/2 cup of ground flax. If it kills me (have eaten this for 8 years), my troubles are over. And I don’t need to pay for a divorce lawyer.
Thanks for the info we are always so grateful for your updates and your until now lol.
Wow 20% is massive!! I work in food manufacturing in Australia, anything under 2grams of what the label weight says were not suppose to use (although quite often we still do if we run out) but we don’t have an overweight limit so yeah, our nutrition label really only states the minimum of what it could be.
Saliva production. The test should be repeated with the test group who generate saliva using a sugar free sweet to see if the ph is better or comparable to the raisin group
“Something that grinds my gears, bursts my bubble, takes the jelly out of my donut…” Oh Heidi, I love you hahahhah, I learnt how to properly read a nutrition label last year in Home ec. and ever since then I always read them, I think it’s very important to know how:)
The only risk eating ground flax seed is when it is cooked or when it is not freshly ground. The omiga 3s turn rancid or become trans fatty acids with very little exposure to heat light or oxygen
Eat only raw flax within minutes after grinding.
DO NOT COOK
Since you were talking about the Swedish health regulation guidelines it might be interesting to know that you can buy bitter almonds in Sweden. They are used in some traditional cookies.
You clear explanation have dispelled some of the misconception i found in reading nutrition label, that is really helpful. Thank!
Important and interesting topic,your explanation is easy to understand,thanks to inform detail about it.
I had no idea how important it was to read nutrition labels, you explained this so perfectly! Your videos are always amazing! I always learn so much, Thanks for sharing!
Wow this video was a huge wake up call. So glad you did this video and thank you
Really this video is good informative for the Reading Nutrition Labels. Your videos are always amazing! I always learn so much.thanks
A doctor told me flaxseed can cause cancer. I kept feeling nauseous and thought I was pregnant. It was my body reacting to the poison in the flaxseed. I only had one tablespoon but I hadn’t eaten yet. I googled and found out the poison is there to kill worms in the body and can make you nauseous.
Check out the side effects of red dye 40, it would really just be illegal, there are other sources of dyes…. I could do with things less brightly coloured of its healthier
Quorn Products: Is there any way you can do a video on Quorn products and other plant based substitutes. Im a 220 mail and body builder struggling to get enough calories consistently on a whole foods plant based diet. I love these products, but am concerned about their long term and short term effects. A video would help guide many of us who love the products and use them to boost calories.
I take 2 tablespoons flax oil daily. I ain’t dead yet. I call BS. Flax seed is good for you.
I was watching documentaries on food and it’s crazy how bad the food industry is:/
Wow, a cliffhanger. You and George R.R. Martin should hang out. You could share your mutual love for cliffhangers.
I have been consuming freshly ground flaxseed for over 20 years… It was my understanding that cooking flaxseed destroyed much of the benefits. Would you please address this also, when you get around to the next vid on flaxseed
I would buy a packet, grind them up and eat them like most people eat cereal. However I did notice declined sexual function so I stopped and the problem went away. I thought it was due to the phytoestrogens.
I’m Swedish and commented about this on one of your flax videos 2 years ago, and now you still leave me hanging?
Takes the jelly out of my donut You’re hilarious! Found this super informative
Dates may be good for the teeth too I know they’re an alkaline food, just like lemons/limes of which I consume at least 10/week my teeth have improved with the lemons/limes they turn alkaline once the enter the body
As a type 2 for 35 years, I have been through all of this. The speaker is spot on. Thanks to my eye Dr. For and Dr Westman for saving me from a poor diabetic control.my A1C now below 7 for 3 years. Thank you for giving this TED talk. My doctors don’ t think it’s a good idea?
They banned the ground flax in the stores here, so i have to ground ot myself.
When i tell people i eat flax every day they always ask ” Arent you afraid the cyanide?”
That’s a really important topic you talked about. People just don’t read nutrition labels carefully and take higher calories than they supposed to be. Just a simple explanation from you again. Thanks for the video!
Note that he did show the Study name, so you can google it, if the suspense is killing you.
I’ve eaten “flax porridge” before where I’d mix up about half a cup ground flax with almond milk, blueberries, vanilla, cinnamon, and a bit of maple syrup and microwave it for a few minutes to heat it up. Guess I maybe shouldn’t be eating that anymore?
My grandmother on her farm has eaten flax seeds every day since my mom was a child. Still alive, well, and still eating flax seeds….
I think this doctor suffers from an underlying delusion that anything which tastes too good MUST be bad. Then he cherry picks studies to support his views which is quite easy to do with the 10’s of thousands of various studies available online.
Anyone else heard “dun dun DUUUUNNNN!!” at the end in their head? no? just me? I swear, if the next episode doesn’t start with “Previously, on Nutritionfacts.org...” LOL
Love this video, food these days is wack. Seems like everything is poison:(
Please do a similar review of Chia seeds which I’m more likely to add to my diet. Thanks.
haha vegan whole foods diet including all the fruit, whole grains has proved to reverse diabeties, cancer look at the chanel nutritionfacts.org
Excellent information. Being from Sweden I have been confused about the government recommendation for quite a while now. So glad you cleared it up for me.
Thank you for recommending the original diet prescribed by God in Genesis 1!
Nice content! Check out my account and subscribe if you like my content
Isn’t it best not to eat cooked flax though because of AGEs?
+Dark-sheep13 you are 100% spot on and by far the most accurate comment on here.. can’t believe this BS is still crippling today’s perception of what true evidence-based nutrition really is. This quack should be put behind bars!
What light she provides in the darkness of a corrupt food and medical-advice providing supply chain. Why it is difficult to believe that people who cannot process carbohydrate should probably not eat carbohydrate is testament to the power of such a corrupt, self-centered, patient-hostile, pharm-biased health unprofessional industry. Some things are changing and this speaker is helping to lead the way. Highly recommended viewing.
My grandmother had an apricots tree, we ate 20-30 kernels at a time, few had very bitter taste which we simply spat it out. Saying apricot kernels are toxic is same as saying almonds are toxic
Forget Cyanide, what about the high levels if Cadmium in flax?
Why did they run that last study on special Olympic athletes?
I always go off food labels and no calories, most of the time less calories means more bad stuff that’s in it. Chemicals and nasty stuff!
To those of you who do not want to wait for the next video (although I recommend watching) here a part of its conclusion by Abraham et al “However, this is a very
high amount of linseed hard to ingest quickly (caloric content 370–380 kcal per 100 g), and in order to meet worstcase conditions, it has to be eaten on an empty stomach
directly after grinding by a machine (chewing of the hard
seeds is not effective enough and very time-consuming),
without consumption of other foods. In Sweden, the highest daily dose was reported to be 80 g ground linseed, given
as “fibre shock” in a private health spa (Rosling 1993).
Usually, high doses are up to 15 g three times a day in case
of traditional herbal medication to treat or prevent constipation (EMA 2006), and this dose is safe with respect to
possible acute toxicity of cyanide. “
My interpretation is that it’s safe when eaten in normal amounts and preferably not on an empty stomach.
im eating oatmeal right now with a tablespoon of ground flax cooked in it… if I don’t comment on the next video, I have died
There’s so much dangerous pseudo science out there, I’m glad we have Dr Greger.
For those who literally cannot wait 0.075 mg/kg body weight (cyanide), 15g ground flax seed (about 2 tbsp) has 3.3mg cyanide. To make it easy, a 100kg person can eat 5 tbsp (about 35g) ground flax seed in one meal (up to 3 meals a day with at least 1 hour between meals but safest levels were at 2 hours). For a small person, 50kg, that’s about 2.5 tbsp 3 times a day, 2 hours apart each is safe. Considering most people only eat 2 tbsp once a day, it’s impossible to get any real side effects, according to the study at least.
So the cyanide in apricot kernels is not bound up or detoxified like in flax?
In my household, which never misses an episode, there is a collective effort to try and beat Doctor Gregor to the punch whenever we sense there is a “Unnnnntillllll NOW” coming, LOL. Anyone else do this?:-)
I only use them in muffins and banana bread. until….
Much better than the effects of wifi lecture turned effects of internet porn sermon
Yesterday I was wondering why a doctor was concerned about the fact that there was glyphosate (a herbicide) in the urine. Does it tell us anything if we find something in the urine? I mean, it is better to have nasty things in the urine than in our bodies. I am just wondering, not an expert.
Cancer patients? Guess what, the same thing works to prevent cancer and and reduce tumor size a low carb, non-glucose-inducing, non-insulinogenic diet. Most cancers will start shrinking. This works a whole lot better than chemo drugs. Yeah, the medical establishment doesn’t want you knowing that cancer, like diabetes, can be controlled with diet.
I’m curious about her overall health, though. Ok, her blood glucose is low, but what about her metabolic processes? Is she able to use enough glucose to ‘make energy’ and remain healthy?
Its interesting but, she only talk about the low glucose in blud on her low carb diet and completely forgot to check if the brain is afectet by this low carb diet, no study or numbers on this side? In the book Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman, I remember a study showing that the brain is less lasy to do high effort thinking when people have eaten carbs. Here I find it:
The nervous system consumes more glucose than most other parts of the body, and effortful mental activity appears to be especially expensive in the currency of glucose. When you are actively involved in difficult cognitive reasoning or engaged in a task that requires self-control, your blood glucose level drops. The effect is analogous to a runner who draws down glucose stored in her muscles during a sprint. The bold implication of this idea is that the effects of ego depletion could be undone by ingesting glucose, and Baumeister and his colleagues have confirmed this hypothesis in several experiments. Volunteers in one of their studies watched a short silent film of a woman being interviewed and were asked to interpret her body language. While they were performing the task, a series of words crossed the screen in slow succession. The participants were specifically instructed to ignore the words, and if they found their attention drawn away they had to refocus the concentration on the woman’s behavior. This act of self-control was known to cause ego depletion. All the volunteers drank some lemonade before participating in a second task. The lemonade was sweetened with glucose for half of them and with Splenda for the others. Then all participants were given a task in which they needed to overcome an intuitive response to get the correct answer. Intuitive errors are normally much more frequent among ego-depleted people, and the drinkers of Splenda showed the expected depletion effect. On the other hand, the glucose drinkers were not depleted. Restoring the level of available sugar in the brain had prevented the deterioration of performance. It will take some time and much further research to establish whether the tasks that cause glucose-depletion also cause the momentary arousal that is reflected in increases of pupil size and heart rate.”
I guess there is no problem, else Dr. Greger would warn us right now and stop his own recommendation!:-P
That is AWESOME!!! I am definitely going to check this stuff out
So many things that I once thought healthy are horrible! Hibiscus tea, flax, cider, too much kale, rosemary…
As a Swede I have been waiting for a video like this ever since the regulators came out with this recommendation and basically all supermarkets stop selling flaxseeds in ground up form..
yes cooking is great
it destroys stuff
it just has no downsides somehow!
I have Lada I was just recently diagnosed, I am also a athlete having difficulty with what kind of diet I should use.
Extraordinary finding! Fruits and Veggies are just simply Amazing as are you Dr Greger for sharing this wonderful info with us. Major Kudos, again, to you sir!
how are raisins dried, my perception always been they can’t be as good for you as real grapes off plant/tree/vine whatever they grow on. i mean it’s not what nature intended as much as grapes themselves is my opinion.
i still think raisins though are probably better option as a sweetener than sugar.
meat and diary causes cavities etc, when i ate that crap before i always had alot of tarter and calculus on my teeth and cleaning time (i brushed 2 times a day and flossed almost everyday) with cavities here and there, once i switched to plant based had very lil tarter and calculus and always zero cavities (with flossing like once a week and just brush morning and before bed), big difference.
Woww I actually learned a lot from this video! That’s crazy there’s a 20% MOE. Gonna start being more careful when reading these labels
I’m hoping all dried fruit are included here..love dates as well!
thats why liver gives brain glucose from stored glycogen…..fruit fructose bypasses insulin like in RAW honey glucose/fruvtose
Glut transporters!!
Is this similar for all dried fruits like apricots/prunes etc?
Well, this explains the inexplicable spate of European commenters asking about flax seed toxicity a few months ago. TFP!
i like this video it is so useful, and i watch your videos every day they are so motivated.
p.s i know this is an old video but i watch them some times more than ones and most of the times i don’t like or comment i don’know why maybe becouse i don’t have time good luck in what ever you wonn to do in the future and your buffbunny collection is on i wish i can bought or order but i can’t couse am in iraq and you don’t ship to there, and i would like to tell you in your new videos you look much happier don’t look at the past keep doing what makes you happy becouse it has a good impact on your videos ❤
Good to know……because I am in love with the Trader Joe’s Organic Thompson Raisins!
Good news…. because I eat lots of raisins. We grow grapes and sundry our raisins in the actual Sun.
omg the cliffhanger… dr greger I need to know if im putting flaxseeds in my oats/smoothie tomorrow or not!!! lol
Can remember vividly being in fourth grade and my friend’s dad (a dentist) dramatically pronouncing that raisins are worse than candy causing cavities. Thanks Dr. McGregor
This was fascinating. Also[throw arms up like Frank Costanza], Vindicatioooooooooon! Thanks for posting. Will let my dentist know.: )
Dr Greger why don’t you monetise your video’s? I’d happily click on your adverts. Really grateful of your all the work you do. Thank you
Companies always think they’re slick by slipping in those bad ingredients and then saying its only 20 cals. trying to make it sound healthy
I’ve been wondering if natural sugar from fruits is as bad for your teeth as refined sugar from fizzy drinks etc
Green tea is also good for your oral health, I drink it all the time. It has high polyphenol content which can reduce plaque and inhibit further bacterial growth (to an extent). It comes in handy considering I don’t brush my teeth as often as I should, not that its a substitute for proper dental hygiene. But its better than nothing. This method is used a lot in China.
Great, informational video, thank you. Please look into grape seed extract. It has been shown to be more effective than fluoride in “preventing” cavities and tooth remineralization.
Gave a speech about this in my class just the other day! So crazy!
all misleading. The question is not “what causes cavities” but “what heals them before they fully develop?” Answer: 90 nutrients essential to the nodys structure and function. Feel free to message me for more info
I always figured it would be as bad as pure sugar or caramel considering the stickyness.
I find nutrition labels helpful but something I am sooo guilty of is looking for more carbs just because I don’t have sometimes the time because of my job to get all of my calories in and my energy needs to be backed up with some fat haha but soon enough I will replace it with some good eats and healthy drinks
I love it when the toothpaste/mouthwash I use is verified by others to be awesome. (The only focus of it is ph balance and balancing the bacteria not wiping it all away like store-bought stuff does). Very interesting info!
Screw the magnets.. That’s the pointiest pencil I’ve ever seen!
